This is a sofa table I made using bookmatched curly cherry lumber. I kept the sapwood rather than cutting it away, and spent some time lining up the cuts/wood grain/sapwood to get it to look right. Beautiful lumber -- the log came from a tree removal service, and it was doomed for firewood before I showed up. Best find ever.

What you will need

Luck in finding bookmatched curly lumber! This piece is 64" x 14" x 30" with slightly tapered 1.5" x 1.5" legs

I had the entire log to pick and choose from.

In this case, a lot of time was in laying out the pieces prior to cutting. I had the entire log to pick and choose from.

Planed, glued, and hand scraped the top. Lots of character.

3 coats of General Finishes Satin urethane for protection.

I started this project before I founded this app, so many of the pics in making it just aren't there. Going forward, my projects will be much better documented!

Thanks Denzel. I really enjoyed this one. There is a 3D look to it which curly cherry can give, even with the satin urethane. Take care!

Thanks, progress was quite slow during the early stages. Lots of thinking, little doing.

Most definitely. I wish I found this app years ago, recycling ideas and sharing is what this hobby is all about. Thanks!
